Wild Webinar: ‘Choose The Bear’ with WI Black Bear Education Center 7/17 6p

Here’s a sneak peak!

---

Coming up this Thursday—don’t miss the webinar from the Wisconsin Black Bear Education Center!
You may have seen recent news about a woman injured by a black bear in Wisconsin. While dramatic, incidents like these are extremely rare—and more often than not, human behavior is the real culprit. This webinar explores how our actions can provoke conflict. It explains what bears actually want (spoiler: it’s not us). It also discusses why coexisting with wildlife isn’t just possible—it’s necessary. Bears aren’t out to get us; they just want to survive, just like any other animal. The Wisconsin Black Bear Education Center does a fantastic job educating the public about coexisting with these magnificent creatures. When humans encroach on their habitat or leave food accessible, it can lead to conflicts. Being bear-aware is crucial. Jeff also lives with bears at his home in Wisconsin.

Help Us End the Unbearable Business of Bear Hounding in Wisconsin
Imagine being chased through dense forests for miles, panting in 90-degree heat, your legs burning, your cubs scrambling to keep up—or worse, left behind. This is the reality for Wisconsin’s black bears every summer. Hounded relentlessly by packs of dogs for hours—sometimes days—bears suffer extreme stress, heat exhaustion, lost pregnancies, and fatal injuries. Cubs become orphaned, wildlife habitats are thrown into chaos, and even human safety is compromised when these packs charge through public lands with no warning.

All this under the banner of “sport.”

This isn’t just wrong—it’s happening with taxpayer funding and on public land that’s supposed to protect wildlife.

If this makes your heart ache or your blood boil, you’re not alone. Great Lakes Wildlife Alliance is fighting to end these practices, but we can’t do it without your help.

Choose compassion. Choose coexistence. Choose to act.
👉 Donate today and help build a Wisconsin that’s safe for all species—especially the ones who can’t speak for themselves.
